Should extra #funding be available for businesses based around improving society? Many #startups claim to provide some kind of societal benefit, but often even if it’s true, the benefits are tangential. But if a business is built to make people’s lives better, I wouldn’t argue against some kind of additional public funding. This TEDTalk delves into a for-profit social enterprise (FOPSE) that helps make society better, while the owners earn a bit of money.

If you think that your business magically become successful once you get funding.. then you are absolutely WRONG! Putting money Into a business with a faulty business model is like putting fuel on a fire - the fire will only increase along with all the money getting burnt.

Raising Money from Multiple VCs How to Create Competition Among VCs When Fundraising: 1. Allow at least six months to raise money: This gives VCs enough time to evaluate your company properly. 2. Understand each VC's process: This way, you can better coordinate the timing of their involvement. 3. Don't reveal other VCs you're talking to: This information could be used against you during negotiations. 4. Do your homework: Research which VCs invest in your industry and stage of growth. Remember: Competition among VCs can lead to better deal terms and increased leverage for you as an entrepreneur. #StartupJourney #VentureInsights #Entrepreneurship #TermSheets #TohundGuide

Soooo many entrepreneurial free spirits I meet just don’t charge enough !!! There I said it … it needs to be said … Tony Robbins humorously stated ‘you can’t help the poor by becoming one of them” By charging significantly and relative to the value you deliver, you can use some of those profits to help people that need help But please stop giving (and expecting) free sh1t … no one will respect your value if you give it away for free or almost free … I charge 25k per month (for a minimum of 3 months) at a time to consult and advise entrepreneurs that want to scale and supercharge their businesses and charge even more to help fund managers and advisers with their RaisingCapital requirements, and it’s really cheap relative to the value I deliver So that I can do good things with those profits … If I did it for free, both parties would lose Think about it !!
